Blue Rider has changed the way my daughter looks at therapy. Her life has been therapy, and needing to do what a multitude of people tell her, with little joy for her. She has been through such a life full of struggles and riding has changed her, giving her freedom of movement and the control of something while actually having fun. Sometimes this is the only thing she will get out of the house for. The staff noticed that I myself needed the help as well, as I have severe anxiety and back pain, depression and insomnia due to my daughter’s condition. I look forward to going to Blue Rider Stables each week. Christine, the other instructors, and the horses not only help put a smile on my daughter’s face but mine as well. Having time to focus on myself erases tensions I don’t even know I hold, and lets me breathe. There is the added bonus of doing something enjoyable with my daughter, even though it is hard work. Depression and the stress of everyday life is always put on hold when at Blue Rider. I thank them for all their support. – KB
